Go's strength is not the language.

But there are so much more to an ecosystem than the language itself. People pick Go, despite its language shortcomings. That should be telling to a lot of other ecosystems out there.

Also, the niche it carved out has no other language that fits equally well, I think.

Can you expand on what those are? The ecosystem was the worst part of using Go when I had to, specifically because every tool I vsme across I had to double check if it was compatible with Go modules (and half the time they weren't).
